@Tharwat Perhaps a bit simpler? ( based on example drawing )

(defun cmts (str)
  (if (and (wcmatch str "*{*;*}")
	   (setq str (substr str (+ 2 (vl-string-position (ascii ";") str 0 t))))
      )
    (substr str 1 (vl-string-position (ascii "}") str))
    str
  )
)

@ronjonp That is an excellent approach indeed.
